Actually as a kid growing up in an all white neighborhood, we used to ask each other, “Where are you from?”. Kids would answer Irish, Italian, Polish, etc. It really meant ethnicity and we asked out of curiosity.

[@EstherLee-tl6zx]

Here's a summary of the main points I got from this video: Racism against Asian-Americans has always existed. It just didn’t appear to as blatantly as now. All that this pandemic has done is expose the underlying racism that has always been there. In the 1900s, in a similar health crisis, only the Chinatown region of San Francisco was subject to quarantine while the surrounding white businesses were preserved. The current U.S. president is only empowering and emboldening racist people to voice their thoughts with his phrasing of COVID as the “Chinese-flu” or “Kung-flu”. It justifies the beliefs of racist people and they believe they are doing a good deed by speaking up for everyone when they voice their animosity towards Asians. Due to this pandemic, it’s as though Asian-Americans are not longer integrated/assimilated into American society. The double-standard is exposed because as per what's historically been done, it’s easier to make a minority group into a scape-goat rather than acknowledge the inherent structural problems with this country and its healthcare system. And once again, this only strengthens the “them” vs. “us” dichotomy between Asians and other minority groups. It bolsters the stereotypes of Asians as “dirty” or “disease-ridden” and emphasizes racial differences. One great way to help stop racism is continuing to have these difficult conversations about racism with the people around you.

@EsterLee IMO Trump's rhetoric is directed towards the CCP and NOT The Chinese people nor asian Americans, asian racism has had a foothold in this country since the 1800's and the building of the railroad infrastructure in USA, That was a bad situation all around, and it was still is going on till the pandemis. (Sex Workers). I don't know exactly who does it now but slave labor and indentured servants were brought to this country in the 1850's, 15,000 to 20,000 Chinese immigrants have been largely ignored by history. without them “it would have been impossible to complete the western portion of the Transcontinental Railroad, and they eventually fought with the Irish for jobs too, so theres theres that, Gordon Chang, Stanford professor of American history and author of the book, Ghosts of Gold Mountain. “White workers, whom the company wanted, did not sign on in numbers anything close to what was needed,” Chinese Americans Were Once Forbidden to Testify in Court. A Murder Changed That According to the Chinese Railroad Workers Project, Central Pacific started with a crew of 21 Chinese workers in January 1864. Chinese laborers at work on construction for the railroad built across the Sierra Nevada Mountains, circa 1870s. “In January 1865, convinced that Chinese workers were capable, the railroad hired 50 Chinese workers and then 50 more,” the Project notes. “But the demand for labor increased, and white workers were reluctant to do such backbreaking, hazardous work.” More Chinese immigrants began arriving in California, and two years later, about 90 percent of the workers were Chinese. “Hong Kong and China were as close in travel time as the eastern U.S.,” Chang says. “The Irish (who made up the majority of the Union Pacific workforce which was laying tracks westward from Omaha, Neb.) did not come out to California in large numbers until after the completion of the Transcontinental.” Their job duties included everything from unskilled labor to blacksmithing, tunneling and carpentry, according to the Project, with most work done with hand tools.

There’s been students that literally look at my sisters, mockingly cover their faces and fast walk away. It’s definitely worse for them than it was for me. 😞 Before COVID-19, it was, “Oh, that’s so cool that half of your family is from Japan!” “Japan is so cool!” “What’s your favorite Japanese artist?” But yes, the ignorance and racism has always been there. I should’ve punched more people in high school lol

I like the conversations in smaller bubbles idea but with a slight modification. Instead of you telling someone who made a racist remark that what they said was offensive and/or inappropriate, ask them to clarify what they said. Then ask them why they said it. How the conversation starts is important. If you enter a conversation with the mindset that they were already wrong then that's not a conversation. That's you telling someone they were wrong and sure you did the right thing probably but if your goal is to change minds then you've failed spectacularly. A conversation happens when one talks and the other listens. Be the one who listens first so when its your time to talk you have a listener. Great content as always AB!

[@negunion]

@@viewercjg It's great that you have such a successful daughter in law, her parents and you and your partner must be proud. I apologise because I took your exclusion of her, no matter how accidental, as less caring and I'd like to note that racism can occur when you least expect it. Not just in the workplace, but often on the street or at a store from complete strangers who won't know anything about you. The first racist attack I experienced was when I was on a run outside; how can that person know about my degrees, my contribution to society, or what accent I speak with. My point is that an increase in racism towards those of Asian appearance will still affect your daughter in law as well as your grand children, no matter what position she is in currently and so you should still be concerned regarding her wellbeing.

Back around February or early March, before the whole CoViD 19 thing was a big issue in the U.S, I was at school and I was doing a project. There was a colored marker that I needed that was at another table. So I went over to the other table to ask for the marker. When I went over to the table to ask for the marker, some of the kids at that table began to loudly whisper "Ooo CoViD" loud enough so I could hear. (I'm korean american for reference). I am very much aware that there is way worse discrimination against Asian Americans going on and it truly breaks my heart. But as I experienced this whole marker situation, I wondered, how many small, unnoticed remarks like that are happening around the world? Honestly, I wasn't all that bothered by the remark because I was kind of used to it.

It’s doubtful that anyone in NYC would use “Trump says...” as a way to bolster their argument. Either way, assholes. I’m glad we live in the least racist country.

My Japanese girlfriend has become wary of visiting friends and family in the UK/France/USA, due to Covid 19, and the racism connected to blaming people from Asia for it, and animosity to mask-wearing...

Why not Los Angeles and New York where a lot of the racism/incidents,assaults/stories are coming from..??

[@Noposwowskis]

Los Angeles has very little to no racism to Asians tbh, I was born/raised here and still live here and I have not seen any racism towards Asians. Although I can't witness everything, I feel like because LA is full of asians from many countries it's very little here. NY is worst I heard

Ahh the good old American tag racist game. First it was natives, then blacks, then the Arabs, after it was Mexicans and now Asians...who's next??

@Percival Hans Natives hated the colonists so much, they fed them and showed them how to grow corn in order to pass the first harsh winters....just to get stabbed in return and get their lands stolen. And you know who where selling whites slaves to Arabs?...other white people. Vikings where pretty good at this.

On last video . I posted a comment about asking Asian Boss to cover Covid 19 racism to Asian communities in Western societies . looks like they listened and nade the video ! Thank you Asian boss for listening to my idea!

[@mynamesjeff.f]

Finally you guys made a video about this! Thank you!

[@averagewanderer1732]

Its good news that we're getting unfiltered responses from them, really helps unveiling the true colors of people today.

[@dr_edward_richtofen69]

Awesome video guys! I'm really glad that you covered this topic because I've been hearing a lot about racism towards Asian-Americans here and it's just unacceptable. Hopefully we can hit a turning point where racism will die out, but its going to take a LOT of hard work and effort from everyone.

[@ahasver923]

Good interview. Thank you, Asian Boss. 3:53 This is the truth. COVID didn't heighten racism towards Asians. Asians were always the punching bag of America. 11:45 She summarized it. Born in the states, and having spent decades, I left 4 years ago. I am very grateful I reside in Korea.

[@helene7672]

I'm American but feel like a foreigner. I hope I can move to Korea as well. I'm done trying to fit in or prove I am worthy American citizen.

[@quidproquo82]

I was not impressed with the commentary from these interviewees. They could have spoken more forcefully about the blatant racism Asians are experiencing right now. It was almost like they were choosing their words carefully to not ruffle feathers. We need strong Asian advocates for our community

[@dickdrapper5491]

@GALAXY GNOMES East Asian countries are way more racist than anywhere in America. They are used to only living with people who look like them, think like them, act like them. To claim otherwise, is ignorance. I hope one day we get to see the reaction by China or Korean people when mass immigration occurs and they are no longer the 99% of their societies, but instead are 75% and have to actually deal with their racist views. Right now they hardly ever meet anyone not like them so their racism never gets a chance to show itself :)

[@shakirashakira388]

this is so sad. idk if the Asians in my country is going through the same, but I've seen many Chinese here posting jokes about how they just have to cough to avoid police encounter, which is a smart and funny idea. and I haven't seen no Asians posting any bad encounter here so I'm happy about that. my Chinese friends and grandpa had no hate thrown their way so that's a big relief to me. btw I'm from the Caribbean (Belize)

Growing up in northern Virginia there has always been a large Asian population in my area so I was never exposed to a lot of racism towards Asians. It was really disturbing seeing the videos that came out last spring. Really compounded by the mental stress from the financial and social effects of COVID.

[@michelled.9864]

Newsflash: All Asians are not Chinese! Even if they were what gives a person the right to disrespect someone as if they are entitled to do so? I get so angry when I see people literally being attacked in the streets. Not even the elderly who can not defend themselves are safe. And I won't even talk about our government not giving Asian business owners COVID relief funds to help them get through the pandemic. Our behavior as a nation is repugnant. We must do better.

I remember talking to my boss about my grocery trips. I mentioned Chinatown and he said with a concerned look. "Oh, you go to Chinatown still." Like people were afraid to go to Chinatown here. I get mad at simple comments like that because 80% of my friends are Asians. I am Mexican.

Hey asian boss, please ask Northeast Indians in delhi also about facing racism. Many were spitted on and thrown out of grocery stores and their rented houses.

[@bangtansblink8994]

Being an Indian myself, it hurts to learn this. You know what's most annoying.- our citizens running to the most ordinary of the white-skinned foreigners to have their pictures taken as if it's a matter of great pride while belittling their own people. Btw I think they've already uploaded a video on the racism faced by the North-eastern people.
